Abstract
Aldehyde (VI) is prepared in three steps with 50% overall yield via sulfoxide (III) which is obtained by the title reaction with ¿98% diastereoselectivity. Pummerer rearrangement of benzyl protected sulfoxide (Va) with (CF3-CO)2O/lutidine followed by work-up with aq. NaHCO3 gives the target compound in quantitative yield. The Pummerer rearrangement of (Va) with NaOAc/Ac2O and subsequent treatment with iBu2AlH affords aldehyde (VI) in only 60% yield. Pummerer rearrangement of (Vb) with NaOAc/Ac2O leads to an epimeric mixture of S-ketals (IX) with replacement of the Tms by the acetyl group.
